'Tis here— The time of year When most becoming lines Are sent in lieu of Valentines. If I could "turn." as modern poets do, Some dainty verse, to arts of rhyming true I'd quickly all my thoughts engage With verse to fill this page And at thy feet My sweet, I'd place With all the grace That tender thoughts suggest The words that told my love the best. I'd ask that in thv heart my love might dwell And then in tenderest words would haste to tell That at thy shrine I'd daily kneel In rev'rent mood, and feel Without alloy, Sweet joy. This valentine was written by Dr. J. D. Eggleston in 1893 when he was superintendent of schools in Ashe ville. A’. C.. and sent to his sweetheart. Miss Julia Jihnston, who was teaching in the Asheville schools. They were married in 1895 and make their home at Hampden-Sydney.
